Hurricane in Hoboken

Hoboken before, during, and after Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Irene

The day before:

Trash cans tied down to prevent their becoming wind-driven projectiles

The sky is starting to look a bit ominous....

But someone seems unimpressed

Same here. Come hurricane or tropical storm...

A few feet away, boats in front of City Hall
(brought in to aid rescue efforts, if needed)

The day of the storm:

The most flood-prone intersection in Hoboken

The evening brought some pretty cloudy skies

From the other side of the clouds...

I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
From up and down, and still somehow,
It's cloud illusions that I recall,
I really don't know clouds at all

--Joni Mitchell (Both Sides Now)

And I dreamed down at the clouds, and thought that when I was a kid I had dreamed up at them, and having dreamed at the clouds from both sides as no other generation of men has done, one should be able to accept his death very easily.

--Saul Bellow (Henderson, the Rain King)
